286. Damage Transfer
As Xiao Yan felt the speed at which his arm was recovering, the light of his blade flashed repeatedly. Wounds also appeared on his legs, which were sitting cross-legged, but he felt no pain. Only his soul power could sense that he was truly injured.
"It seems it's not just his neck, his whole body is like this," Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
The ability to withstand injuries without feeling pain and to heal at a visible speed is a physique even magical beasts lack. Having such an ability in battle would be the strongest trump card in life-or-death confrontations! However, Xiao Yan's current worry is that he cannot control this ability. An ability not under one's control is unreliable, as it is unpredictable and could fail at any time.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He knew his own body best; this was definitely not a unique physique like that of Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor. Neither Ming Mei nor Emperor Xu Tian had ever mentioned it to him. The only thing Emperor Xu Tian had said was that he possessed a power of fortune that came with the liberation of many imprisoned powerful beings in the Myriad Beasts Space, but this power of fortune was definitely not something that could help him heal himself!
Xiao Yan recalled that the last time he fought someone was not long ago on the Fenglei Mountain Range, when his body was still injured and unable to heal itself.
"After that... could it be!" Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something with a similar effect—the Heart's Blood Clay Doll of the Yellow Springs Pavilion!
Although Venerable Huangquan said that the clay puppet could only protect its master from one fatal injury, after Xiao Yan used it, the clay puppet merged into his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body. Xiao Yan had never understood why this was.
Xiao Yan couldn't wait to release his clone again. Looking at the clone that looked exactly like him, standing quietly in front of him, there were some illusory marks on the clone's arms and legs.
Xiao Yan looked at his body again and found that all the wounds on his neck, arms and thighs had disappeared without a trace, not even a scar!
Xiao Yan picked up the dagger again and slashed his arm, leaving another bloody gash. It then began to heal rapidly, but this time Xiao Yan ignored his wounds and focused intently on his clone opposite him.
Xiao Yan keenly noticed that although his clone's arm did not have the same wound, a transparent mark appeared in the same spot! Then, the clone absorbed the energy of heaven and earth again, and that illusory thing slowly became solid again, but it was much slower than his own recovery.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. It really was true! Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, the injuries he had suffered had somehow been transferred to his clone!
Although it doesn't disappear completely, the clone is much stronger than the real body when it recovers. Moreover, even if the clone is destroyed, it can be resurrected on the spot with just a little time!
Xiao Yan suppressed his inner joy and continued to slash at his own body with the dagger, as he still had many details to confirm.
……
Within the Tianluan Clan's herb garden stands a thatched hut, the residence of Elder Chen Wei. Although an elder, he devotes most of his attention to his array formations. He simply resides within the herb garden for his research, a decision that finds undisputed within the Tianluan Clan. Chen Wei's prestige within the Tianluan Clan is comparable to that of the clan leader, and his array formations have influenced virtually every aspect of the clan's life.
Meanwhile, Chen Wei was in his room fiddling with a blueprint covered in mysterious runes, which appeared to be the core of a basic formation. However, Chen Wei's emotions were unstable today, and he had to stop drawing the blueprint several times.
Tang Qiying was still lying on the only bed in the thatched hut, but Chen Wei had treated him and he woke up not long afterward.
Tang Qiying glanced around the room and then asked Chen Wei, "Teacher, what's this?"
Chen Wei glanced at Tang Qiying and then said, "Qianxue has made her move."
Then Chen Wei frowned and said, "Why did you provoke her today? Don't you understand how important she is to you and to the Tianluan Clan?"
Hearing Chen Wei's criticism, Tang Qiying showed no remorse whatsoever. After Chen Wei finished speaking, Tang Qiying retorted, "According to the clan rules, shouldn't those people be punished?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wei slammed his pen and paper on the table: "Don't give me that talk about clan rules. Do you think you're the chief inspector of the Tianluan Clan here?"
"This disciple dares not..."
"Rules are rules, but people are flexible. If anything happens to Qianxue today, we'll both be in big trouble!"
Chen Wei was furious, but Tang Qiying's expression remained unchanged. Chen Wei said, "I understand what you're thinking. You just feel that Qianxue has escaped your control, right?"
With his thoughts exposed, Tang Qiying's eyes showed a hint of panic.
"Don't you understand? Your engagement to Mu Qianxue played a major role in your selection as the successor of the Tianluan Clan for the next generation! Although she spends her days with the Ancestor, she is still a human being! Not a toy you can control at will!"
Having his thoughts pointed out by Chen Wei, Tang Qiying dared not argue any further.
After Chen Wei finished speaking, he picked up the paper and pen on the table again and immersed his mind back on the drawings in his hand. Tang Qiying stood to the side, silent.
The original blueprint was already nearly complete, but Chen Wei added a few more strokes to unify the runes on it. Looking at his work, Chen Wei admired it for a moment with satisfaction. Then, Chen Wei's hand moved rapidly through the air, so fast it was dazzling. Finally, a bright array of light appeared in Chen Wei's hand. Looking at the array before him, Chen Wei's gaze subtly swept over Tang Qiying, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Chen Wei casually flicked his wrist, causing the light array to transform into battle qi and disappear into the air. He then rolled up the blueprints he had drawn and handed them to Tang Qiying: "You have one month to thoroughly understand them and complete the rest."
Tang Qiying took the blueprints and asked, "Is there anything else you need, teacher?"
Chen Wei's anger had subsided, and he patiently advised, "I know you have big ambitions behind this abandoned baby, but remember not to be hasty in everything. You can't control everything."
Tang Qiying also respectfully replied, "This disciple has remembered."
Chen Wei waved his hand, and Tang Qiying turned and left. Chen Wei opened the door and stood in the herb garden, looking at Tang Qiying who was leaving with a complicated expression in his eyes, and his heart was filled with unease for a long time.
